Wow, the Beyond summer is flying by. Our third week of mountain trips is already hiking into the heights and our first sea-kayaking trip is completing its final paddles. It’s only Week 3 and our summer has already been chock-full of adventure and growth. We've already had WAFA for 1st Year Guide Staff; Sea Kayaking, Mountain, and Base Camp 10-day training; and two weeks of crazy mountain epic-ness, and we're just getting started.
Surprises abound this summer. First off, so much snow! For those that are familiar with Chatterbox, the guides on 10 Day began kicking steps before Log Cabin Pass. Base Camp wildlife expanded from the usual otters, rats, squirrels, and birds to include two fawns, Phil and Bill, that have made Base Camp their home. Our fearless leadership staff—GTL’s, base camp and food service coordinators, and Rob-- are working hard to keep up with the changes and surprises of life in the Princess Louisa; they're doing a great job.
We have trips out this week on Frankenstein, Pearkes, Long Pearkes, One Eye, Zion, Albert, JJ, and Sun Peak. You counted correctly, that's EIGHT trips, and we have seven coming up next week. We are so excited about everyone that's coming up. Our guide staff is not as big as it could be so if you are an ex-guide with current first aid certification, and a week to spend in the inlet, you should give Mike and Alissa a call. If not, we'd love it if you would lift up and celebrate all of these folks in prayer-- guides, participants, base camp, and leadership.
We want to share everything that's going on in and around Base Camp, but so much is happening we hardly know where to begin. So...
I'm sure you have things you're dying to know. Choose your favorite question and look forward to a detailed, juicy explanation next week. We certainly appreciate the help.
